confirmed: Ryan Callahan Joining ESPN

Former Rangers captain Ryan Callahan is headed to ESPN, The Post has learned. Callahan, 36, spent eight seasons with the Rangers before playing parts of six years with the Lightning. He has done some work for NHL Network and NBC.

 

Callahan’s exact role is still to be determined, but will likely be a combination of studio and game assignments.

 

ESPN/ABC and Turner will take over NHL coverage from NBC beginning next season. Turner has hired Kenny Albert and Eddie Olczyk as its lead announcing team, while ABC/ESPN has brought in Ray Ferraro and Brian Boucher as top analysts. Steve Levy and Sean McDonough are the leading candidates to be ABC/ESPN’s No. 1 play-by-player.

Good. I liked him on commentating.

 

I'm surprised he's willing to move around so much. Everything indicated he did not want to travel much.

Good for Cally was always a Rangers favorite of mine.

Ranger warrior who will be forever revered for his service. Good 'next step' for him.

Always refreshing to see him on commentary. I don't he'll forget what Marchand did to him in Round 2 of the 2018 Playoffs lol.

A shame MSG did not give him a bigger role. The Valiquette pre/post show is a dumpster fire crossed with a nuclear meltdown inside a sewer. Only exceeded in awfulness by what ever the hell the 2 ladies on the Isles pre/post game are doing.
